There wasn't much playing in the theater at the time, but Sarah and Hunter wanted to sit in a darkened room holding hands for two and a half hours, so they went to see their first movie in theaters together. It was Uncharted, an action movie in the spirit of National Treasure (but one you probably don't remember). The theater was nearly empty, except for one older man who awkwardly sat by himself three rows behind them. The armrest between their seats didn't roll up, so Sarah tried to contort around it to get as close to Hunter as possible (her side hurt for the rest of the night). Unlike when they watched Encanto, at least they both followed the plot, even if their hearts were still beating fast and loud in their ears. It was around this same time that their text messages had grown so long and out of control that they had to switch to email for a while, allowing them to type with a full-size keyboard. They were fast becoming inseparable.
